My husband, 14 yo daughter and I stayed at this apartment and it was centrally located to everything. It was 1.5 small block away from the Doumo and tower. The unit was very spacious and had all the kitchen appliances you need for cooking. Because of the central location, we did hear the outside music playing from one of the piazzas and the early garbage collection. That was the only set back. The air-conditioning worked great especially when there were record heatwave while we were in town. It was a short walking distance to the Santa Maria Novella train station and, close to the supermarket. Lorenzo who checked us in was very nice but since he was very new, he didn't have all the answers to our questions on the unit. The location of this great unit was the selling point. If you don't mind hearing some of the night time noises, this is a great unit. You can always sleep in the living room area as it had a sofa mattress. The bathrooms were spacious, clean, and had spacious shower area.
